Enova Systems, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: ENA) (AIM: ENV) (AIM: ENVS), a leading developer of proprietary hybrid electric and all-electric drive systems and drive system components for the emerging green commercial vehicle market, is pleased to announce that a pre-production vehicle resulting from Enova’s and Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp’s (FCCC) recently announced Green for Free™ initiative (www.greenforfree.com) will continue to be on display at various locations along the US west coast.

After the success and interest generated with both the public and fleet operators during the Green Vehicle Transportation Conference, the Portland International Auto Show, and a Ride and Drive event in Washington State, the GFF all electric delivery Walk in Van will be on display and available to drive at the Golden Gate Truck Center in Oakland, CA on February 7th and 8th, followed by an exhibition at Velocity Vehicle Group’s Los Angeles Freightliner Truck Center in Fontana, CA, from February 13th to Feb 17th. Attendees will learn more about the Green for Free™ initiative and ENOVA’s next-generation Omni drive system.

Jonathan Randall, Director, Sales and Marketing, Freightliner Custom Chassis, said, “The commercial vehicle market has relied on government funding for alternative-fuel vehicles. The Green for Free program relies on the life cycle cost savings of an all electric vehicle versus a typical commercial vehicle to cover additional expense associated with purchasing an all electric vehicle, making the program attractive to fleets both large and small without need of government subsidies. Freightliner Custom Chassis is very pleased to be partnering with Enova to promote this program, and we are thus equally pleased with the reaction our chassis is receiving at the various shows in which we are attending."

Mike Staran, Enova President and CEO, added, “We are extremely pleased with the response this initiative is receiving. Customers are realizing that the potential for a value proposition does in fact exist and appear to be eager to participate.”

Featuring an industry-leading intelligent design, the Omni Series is designed to deliver increased power, greater efficiencies and economic advantages for manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty EV and HEV commercial vehicles. The new Green for Free™ Zero Tailpipe Emissions vehicle boasts a GVWR of 14,000 to 19,500 lbs and symbolizes the coming of age of full electric state of the art technology. It combines the ENOVA OMNI series drive train with the FCCC MT45 chassis, and a new Morgan Olson body design of greatly improved aerodynamics, a one-piece bonded windshield, an automotive-like quiet interior and recyclable composite body panels. The result is a reliable, durable and user friendly work tool with a body that is 500 lbs lighter than the traditional Walk in Van and helps extend drive cycle range. With sustainability in mind, the Green for Free™ vehicle benefits from what is expected to be the lowest possible carbon footprint. FCCC’s MT 45 chassis is built at their zero waste to landfill plant in Gaffney SC. ENOVA and FCCC are currently working together on the selection of the Battery supplier for this vehicle which is anticipated to be announced in the coming weeks. With the selection of the Battery supplier, ENOVA and FCCC will be well-positioned to set the pace in the development of large scale commercial full EV vehicles and technological innovation in this sector.

About Green for Free™:

The Green for Free™ Program intends to allow fleet executives to purchase all-electric vehicles for the cost of a diesel-powered commercial vehicle. The projected savings fleets incur from the reduced maintenance and fuel savings of the electric vehicles (EVs) are then used over a period of time to cover the incremental expense for the technology. FCCC and Enova plan to gradually deploy a total of 3,000 alternative-fuel vehicles beginning in the second half of 2012 as a result of the Green for Free™ Program. The Green for Free™ Program will utilize the FCCC All-Electric Walk-in Van (WIV) chassis powered by the Enova drive system. FCCC is already well-established in the market and can provide immediate volume, which is required to reduce high-cost components, such as batteries. Additionally, the project looks to focus on disciplined duty cycles, utilizing 80 percent of the battery daily, versus design for extended range.
